THE ASSESSMENT MUDDLE.-The
Revised Code does not seem to op-
crate with perfect ease on the assess
ment and collection of taxes. 1t
places the county assessor and tax
collector in an anomalous position. 1t
forces him to assess and collect under
two different laws-one the law exist
ing prior to June 1st, 1887, and the
other law provided for in the Revised
Code. 1t affords two different dates
when taxes become delinquent and
two penalties for such delinquency.
Unless some sort of legal compro
mise can be effected, the result will
almost double the duties of county as
SCISSORS and put taxation matters in
muddle. A portion of the tax-pay-
ers of the county will have their taxes
become delinquent in November, and
another portion in December. For
one class the penalty for delinquency
is Is per cent while for the other it is
10 per cent. 1t is the intention
of Assessors Gorton, of Bingham
county, to strike some sort OF a com
promise if it can be done legally. The
taxes of this county will all fall de
linquent in November and 10 per CEN
only will be added after that time
This is the best possible way out .
the dilemma, and we trust his efforts
will be successful.-[Reporter.

JAS. IRWIN, of Banner, is in town.
Jim had FIVE tons of ore from the
Panamint crushed recently in the
Banner mill. The rock milled $92.70
per ton. The ore was taken from the
late strike in the Panamint, about
seventy-6ve feet from the surface.
Mr.. Irwin is of the opinion that this
is not the Panamint proper, but a
parallel vein, about thirty feet south
of the Panamint. The ledge carries
about foot of pay ore. Mr.. Irwin
informs us that twenty tons of ore from
the Wolverine mine, where 1t was
tapped few weeks ago with 800
foot tunnel, 400 feet east of the old
pay chute that was worked several
years ago, and at the depth of about
200 feet, were crushed short time
ago in the Banner mill and yielded
s52 per ton. A drift has been run
east ON the vein about twenty-five
feet, and also drift west, the length
of which Mr.. Irwin did not learn.
A raise was also put up twenty-elght
feet to connect with 70 foot shaft
sunk from a tunnel run on the vein
above. The vein is we'll defined and
is about 20 inches thick. Contracts
were let by the Elmira Co. for run
ming three 500 foot tunnels to tap the
Wolverine, Star of the West and
Washoe mines. The McLain brothers
had the contract for running the
Wolverine tunnel. Gibbs & William
son are running ON the Star of the
West, and will have their 500 feet hin
ish I'd on Oct. 1st. The tunnel cut the
ledge the other day and crossed two
veins-one three inches and the othe
five, both carrying ore that shows well
Jees Bradford is running for thu
Washoe, but has not yet tapped tn
vein.

ROAD into Deadwood Basin next wear
The most practicable route for the
construction Of road is from Wood
River via Stanley Basin, but this
would not be the best route for travel
nor the nearest. The shortest -oute
would be from Garden Valley, but
the cost of putting a road through
from this valley would be considera-
bic greater than from Stanley Basin.
With road from Garden Valley
short and direct route would be es-
tablished, both for mails and travel
to this and Ada county, whereas the
other route would be roundabout, aud
through one of the snowiest regions
OF the Territory. Mr.. Rhodes says
the latter could not be travelled more
than three or four months in The year.
But Notwithstanding this, if aid is
not extended by this and Ada coun-
ties, the chances are that if macbin-
cry goes in next year, the cheapest
troute will be selected, and that will
be by way of Stanley Basin. A
road by way of Gardensv alley would
benefit both this and Ada counties.
and they will do well to be wide
awake and see that prizes that nat
urally belong to them are not seized
by Alturas, the citizens of which
county are ever vigilant, and on the
lookout to puch out with roads to
make all new mining camps tributary
to its center-the Wood River coun-
try. The road from Garden Valley
will not cost over fifteen or twenty
thousand dollars, and aid extended
by Boise and Ada counties will be
the means Of capturing the trade and
travel of Deadwood Basin, which
promises to be, in very few years,
an item well worth taking into ac-
count. That district has great num-
Der OF the finest mines for the devel-
opment that has been done, of any
other district in Idaho. The veins
carry both gold and silver, the ore
bodies are of good size, and a great
deal of it high grade, running into
the hundreds per ton, and some as
high as 81 400. 1t is little early to
begin the agitation of the question Of
a wagon road to that district, but it is
better to start in time than to be
caught mapping and let the Wood
River section walk off with the hon.
ors of victory and trade advantages
as reward for foresight and enter
prise. 1t is the early hunter that cat.
ches the bird, and the bird that il
soon in its movements alighteth or
the June bug. Boise and Ada coun.
ties will be working to their best in
terests by seeing to it that the road
goes by way of Garden Valley. The
future prosperity of this aud Ada
county will depend more on the secur
ing of wagon road communication
with the mining districts to the Nortt
of US, than on anything else.

well worth the money. They have

Murdered and Dismembered.

BosToN, Jan. 5.-A bundle of bloody clothing
was found yesterday in Lexington, and caused
much surprise. To-day farmer Brooks discov-
cred, near the place, the head Of man, which
had been severed from the body, and near it
other portions Of body covered by snow. The
head was gashed and distorted by a terrible
wound. 1t bad evidently been chopped from the
body with dull AK. About mile from where
the head and arm were found, the investigators
discovered, in deep gully, the mutilated trunk.
1t was naked, and deep cuts in the hip and leg
indicated the intention of the murderers of sew
ering the left leg, as they had the right, which
had been rudely chopped off at the thigh. The
body is thought to be that of a hard working
man. Near the head was found Boston Even
ing Record, dated Dec. %, smeared with blood
which indicates that the murder was committed
on or later than that date The mutilated re-
mains were found on one side Of wall adjoin-
ing the Lexington road, having evidently been
thrown from the road A large rubber
horse-cove had also been thrown over the wall
with the intention to conceal the remains, which
it failed to do, having landed several feet from
the mangled body. This rubber cover is the
only thing III the nature Of a ciew that has been
discovered.
A dispatch states that the body has been fully
identified as that of George A. Goldman, Som
erville workman.
